Most of us won't consciously "hear" many of the subtle sounds around us, unless it's a sound we're familiar with in a different context. For example, how many of us would hear the sound of a swan's wing as the bird flies over a city street? More of us will hear the swan if it's also honking, and even more of us will hear it if we substitute the swan with a noisy flock of crows. A quiet camera does not ensure that nobody will hear it, but it will reduce the audible intrusion to where very few people will give it much notice.
